Lingerie and adult toy specialist Ann Summers has announced that its four Irish stores, are back in the black.

Figures show that the company, which launched in Dublin 17 years ago, totalled EU149,269 profit in the 12 months to the end of June 2015 in comparison to a pre-tax loss in 2014 of EU29,755.

Ann Summers will be opening an additional store in Ireland this year which has been predicted to double the turnover of its flagship store due to increased footfall.
